Amelia Lowe: Contemporary Dancer on So You Think You Can Dance Season 9 Reveals her Workout, Diet and Beauty Secrets

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?

Ms. Amelia Lowe:

I don’t really have a strict diet that I follow. I just try to do everything in moderation. Too much of anything, even healthy food, can backfire on you if you’re not careful. I also don’t deny my cravings. If I’m dying for something sweet, I let myself have a small cookie or something like that. I’ve found that when I cut out sweets all together I end up obsessing about them and then breaking down and binge eating when I can’t take it anymore. I also try to cook all of my meals when I can. It allows you to control exactly what you’re taking in and it saves you money too.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

You have glowing skin and gorgeous hairs. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hairs to make them look so stunning?

Ms. Amelia Lowe:

I’m very simple when it comes to maintaining my hair and skin. I usually just wash my makeup off at night before bed and then wash my face with water when I wake up in the morning. I think less is more when it comes to skincare. You don’t necessarily need twenty different lotions and scrubs. For my hair I use shampoo and conditioner that helps to keep my color fresh and vibrant. And I don’t wash my hair every single day unless I have to. There are healthy oils that you wash away when you wash it too frequently.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding professional dance girls who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to ladder of success in the field professional dancing?

Ms. Amelia Lowe:

I would say to aspiring young dancers that they need to be training in as many different styles as possible. When you get to the professional world you don’t get to choose the kinds of styles expected of you at auditions. The more you know, the more work you’ll be able to get. I would also say to study different things outside of dance as well. Take vocal lessons, acting, or learn how to play an instrument. Every extra skill you have will be an advantage when you’re competing for jobs.
